Individual 8th grade students will be able to shadow Sequoia students on most Mondays between October 1, 2018 and January 28, 2019.

Shadowing space is limited, and these dates
will fill very quickly. If your student is not seriously considering
Sequoia as an option for high school, please do not sign up to shadow. Please leave the spot for another student who is considering their options.

If you have questions about Shadowing, please contact Director of Student Activities Corey Uhalde: cuhalde@seq.org.
Please do not call the school with questions. All shadowing questions
will be addressed via email, usually within 24 hours! Thank you!

A shadow day is an opportunity for eighth grade students to spend the day at Sequoia and experience firsthand what it’s like to be a member of the Sequoia family.

Students have an opportunity to observe Sequoia High School for the day and we offer a Parent Information Session.

Our Hosts are trained to help you get the most of your shadow experience and can't wait to meet you! Each host will be paired with two shadows.

You may request your host and you may request to be with another shadow.

We make every effort to match eighth grade students with one of our hosts based on their interests (class schedule, extra-curricular activities, etc.)

Bring a book/homework to work with in the event that there is a test scheduled in one of the classes that you attend.

Please bring a snack. Lunch will be provided for you

You will not need to dress for PE

Parents may park in the Ellwood Street Parking Lot near the baseball field at the back of campus (see map)

In addition to our regular shadowing program, Sequoia will now be offering parent tours
on two Saturdays during the 2018-2019 school year (November 10 and February 2).
These tours are open to both parents and potential future students who
are interested in seeing the campus in person. Tours will be led by
members of Sequoia's ASB Student Leadership class and will be
approximately 30 minutes in length. Tour guides will introduce some
of the essential points of interest on the Sequoia campus and strive to
answer any and all questions during the tour window. Tours will run depart between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM on each of the above dates. Interested
parties should meet at the front of the school (near the main office).
There is no need to sign up beforehand
